  1. I would contact Hypergear about making the one you have good again
  2. It's usually screwed into the manifold where your arrow is pointing. The PCV gives you a better headstart to get your crankcase into negative pressure rather than starting from 0. The air going through the turbo drawing air from the cam covers is there from factory also. Both are very important. The second picture is spot on but it's difficult to get the PCV plumbed back in because you now only have the 90deg fitting there. If it were mine, I would now run the PCV to the catch can somewhere. It will have the same effect in the end
  3. This is a problem. Why is it blocked off? You are better off with it connected.
  4. I hope you haven't got valves/lifters in place?
  5. The crank has no extended collar
  6. Yes
  7. Are you asking why it's billet or why a billet flywheel is required? Billet flywheel because of the risk of bursting (not a spelling mistake - burst not bust) the standard cast iron one once you get over certain torque levels. They are like a ticking timebomb. Lots of people run the standard one at power levels over 450whp and nothin happens. Then one day BOOM off comes a leg for some poor chap at the track. Not to mention the car is also written off because its cut your chassis rail in half. Not worth the risk for the unknown quantity. I know enough to know that an organic plate isn't going to burst a flywheel and neither is 400hp at the wheels no matter how hard you try. 500hp on the other hand, have seen a few go bang. Your choice
  8. You will start seeing more as they get older. We have all the gear to do valve stem seals pretty quickly in the car now because we were getting so many that were stuffed or they'd come in to get springs done and you could crack walnuts on the old seals they were so hard. (I didn't put food in anyone's engine) 150k+ and you're a prime candidate. I know it's hard to believe these cars actually age this way. They are usually indestructible. Like gearboxes. Still paying $1500 for S1 gearboxes. It's because they never wear out......ever......ever ever. Now THAT'S a true story?
  9. They are the same factory pump anyway. I'm guessing he means N1 A quick search is all that's required to know to stay the hell away from those pieces of shit.
  10. Lol yeah. You have a link. Pretty much the OPPOSITE of what we are talking about
  11. The problem isn't that they don't idle. The problem is random stalling after accelleration/revving Anyway, I've said what I needed to. I'm not the one who tunes this shit. I just see it causing problems. You can fit whatever you like but we are just trying to keep you informed of the 'possible' risks in doing so with certain setups
  12. Organic clutch = no need for billet flywheel. Button clutch over 450whp = billet flywheel
  13. A turbo is more likely to blow smoke when you are under acceleration. Not decel. To the OP: If you let it sit and idle hot for 2-3 mins, then give it a few revs, does it blow smoke then, but clear after those few revs? (Or get noticeably less?)
  14. This ^^ It's due to the larger spring diameter. More leverage = lighter pedal feel
  15. You should piss it in. It's only a 8-10 hour job total
  16. Yep, I believe you (although shouldn't it idle at 750-800rpm?) Most of the problem with these cars with Nistune is when they have aftermarket large cams and plenum. The point is, no one is saying it can't idle smoothly and not have problems, just that there is a risk involved. If it were auto, had type b cams and Nistune, it would be shit
  17. Yeah you gotta manipulate it. It fouls on the comp cover. If you don't do it correctly, it will piss oil out
  18. Yes I know. Type A have a smaller duration so they are going to be better for maintaining a factory/near factory idle. Tomei haven't always done Type A and Type B in a Poncam so I'm sorry I confused you. I confused myself for a minute haha. Type B aren't necessarily going to mess with idle much either but the fact is, you are better off with the 252 deg cam anyway. It better matches the 3071 for its efficiency range.
  19. Valve stem seals need to be replaced
  20. lol yeah I see what I did there. Type A
  21. /re-open thread Sorry Nismoid I noticed you said that already /end thread
  22. You're ALL missing the point. Why do you even NEED Type B cams? 3071 + 3 inch exhaust = 270rwkw at best. Pon cams = perfect. /end thread
  23. If you use the 8mm carrier with the proper bearing, is should work perfectly. Don't use the longer one. You need the short one with OS clutches
